Silver Clay is a mixture of microfine silver powder and a binder. You form it just like clay then fire it in a kiln or with a torch. The binder burns out and the silver fuses together leaving pure silver in the shape you made. It also comes in gold, bronze and copper. It's a bit expensive though - 5 grams Gold = $270, 50 grams Silver = $80, 100 grams Bronze or Copper = $20 As a point of reference, 50 grams of Silver is worth about $21
